San Francisco's next social event for computer sysadmins and their
friends, sig-beer-west, will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2003 at
the [1]Toronado in San Francisco, CA. The Toronado has an impressive
selection of [2]draught and [3]bottled beer. Festivities will start at
6:00pm and continue until we've all left. The Toronado has an
excellent selection of beer, but no food. It is perfectly okay to
score food from neighboring establishments and bring it back to the
Toronado to eat. Also, after we are all full with beer we may roam off
to a nearby restaurant.

the place. (O.K., you do have to be of legal drinking age to attend.)

obvious who we are. :-)

sig-beer-west FAQ
1. Q: Your announcement says "computer sysadmins and their
friends". How do I know if I'm a friend of a computer
sysadmin? I don't even know what one is.
A: You're a friend of a computer sysadmin if you can find
the sig-beer-west sign at this month's sig-beer-west event.
2. Q: I'm not really a beer person. In fact I'm interested in
hanging out, but not in drinking. Would I be welcome?
A: Absolutely! The point is to hang out with fun, interesting
folks. Please do join us.
3. Q: Is parking difficult around the Toronado, like maybe I should
factor this into my travel time?
A: Yes.
______________________________________________________________________
sig-beer-west was started in February 2002 when a couple Washington,
D.C. based systems administrators who moved to the San Francisco Bay
area wanted to continue a [7]dc-sage tradition, sig-beer, which is
described in dc-sage web space as:
SIG-beer, as in "Special Interest Group - Beer" ala ACM, or as in
"send the BEER signal to that process".
The original SIG-beer gathering takes place in Washington DC,
usually on the first Saturday night of the month.
